International High School (secondary), University or College (post-secondary)

International High School (secondary)

If you’re currently studying outside Canada – or if your most recent academic experience was outside Canada – find the relevant country or educational system in the International Admission Requirements section below to determine your minimum admission requirements. Use the Program Finder to see if there are additional, program-specific requirements for your intended program of study.

Conditional offers of admission will be made based on your previous year grades and your in-term/mid-term results, if available. If you do not qualify on the basis of your interim results, it is unlikely that we will be able to reassess your application when final grades are received; however, if space is available in the program of your choice, we may reconsider your application. You must submit all required documents by the published document deadline for your program(s) of interest.

If you are a home-schooled student currently completing your secondary school studies, you can find specific admission information here.

International University or College (Post-secondary)

If you are attending or have attended a recognized university or college and have a strong academic record, you will be considered for admission based on your postsecondary studies and your most recent annual average, although we will review your entire academic record. Program area prerequisites must be met at, or beyond, the minimum level required for admission from your educational system. You must submit all required documents by the published document deadline for your program(s) of interest. If you have studied at a recognized postsecondary institution beyond the minimum requirements, you may be eligible for transfer credits toward your degree. Transfer credits are assessed after admission.

Successful applicants are admitted to a program area. Admission to a specific program is determined by the Faculty/Department once transfer credits have been assessed, and will depend on whether or not program prerequisites and grade requirements have been met. Be sure to check the prerequisites for your intended area of study.

If you hold a university degree, or have completed more than two years of university-level study at another university beyond the minimum requirements, you may only apply for degree studies in a different field. For instance, applicants who have completed a degree in, or have majored in, Economics, Management, Commerce or Business, cannot apply for a Commerce or Management degree. If admitted to a different program, such students will be considered for a maximum of five credits (one full year) from their previous studies.

If you simply want to take courses to qualify for a graduate program or for other professional programs, you may want to consider applying as a Non-degree applicant.

Note: If you have completed any postsecondary studies, your application will not be considered for Rotman Commerce at University of Toronto St. George, due to the program's limited capacity.

If you wish to take courses to qualify for a graduate program or other professional programs, you may want to consider applying as a Non-degree applicant.
